wheel frustrations

[Bryce]

And....You know the day is screwed up when you actually respond to your own post. I just thought of the fact that I’ve got a Rubicon and not a standard sport so even with a +25 I’d still be looking at an inch and a half to 2 inches beyond want my current stock Rubicon tires are, correct?

This is my stock height Rubicon with stock tires on 8.5x17 +25 AEV Borahs.

Jeff,

Not to criticize in any way, everyone has their own personal preferences. What makes you dislike a wider stance?

For me on a 2.5" lift, the wider stance lower's the center of gravity. Either on or off-road that is very appealing. I love everything about my 17x9 (-12mm offset) 4.5" backspace wheels. They're fantastic.

Just wondering what is it that you don't like about it. Again, not to say anything negative about your preference, everyone's Jeep is their business. I'm just curious?

Can you post pic? I’m about ready to pull the lever on 2.5 Icon stage 2 lift, 35 BFG KOs, and Fuel wheels 17x9 -12 offset

Cheryl,

How coincidental, I just posted a bunch of pics on the same subject but on a different thread. Please refer to my earlier post from this morning.

Hope this is what you're looking for:

looking into the possibility of a different set of wheels and tires for my BRAND NEW '20 rubi & here ae where my frustrations lie:
1) not a fan of "poke": I"d rather keep the wheels INSIDE the flares
2) Rubi is ocean blue with body color hard top (fenders are still the basic black plastic), so I'd like to avoid all black: what I really really like is the Method double standard with the machined lip
3) there seems to be literally hundreds of different styles of wheels, but from what I"ve been seeing, there's nothing that is fairly close to factory offset/backspacing...most are all negative offset which is just going to push any tire I get further outside the fenders

what I need to find is some black wheels with a machined lip with an offset/backspacing that approximates the factory wheel...good luck with that garbage.....

Ruff roads make a similar wheel to the Method 703 but in +30 with a simulated bead lock.
I think they are made in Australia though. I am tempted to get them or a Method 703 in +25, but to be legal I need to keep them under the guards. Not sure if any of the tread will poke out.
